1 Liftgate Vehicle Name Plate

Procedure

  1. The part and surface should be 21Β°C (70Β°F) prior to installation. The vehicle should remain 21Β°C (70Β°F) for one hour after assembly to allow adhesive to develop sufficient bond strength.
  2. Use a heat gun or equivalent to remove the old name plate. Clean all adhesive from the liftgate and wipe the surface dry with a clean lint-free towel prior to installing the new name plate.
  3. Wipe the vehicle surface area with a 50/50 solution by volume of isopropyl alcohol and clean drinkable water.
  4. When removing protective liners from the adhesive tape, be careful not to touch tape with hands and do not allow tape to come in contact with dirt or any foreign matter prior to adhesion.
  5. Use the alignment template or witness marks to position liftgate vehicle name plate.
  6. Using the palm of the hand, wet out the liftgate vehicle name plate to the liftgate to ensure full adhesion is made.
